There are multiple sources to get a quick introduction into the Cloud Adoption Framework. There is a CAF learning path in the Microsoft Docs. This path is also the required pre-learning for the first module.
In addition there is on-demand self learning path in german with a lot of videos and links towards tools and other supporting material.
The learning path is based on three main modules with multiple add-on modules.
- Module 1: Cloud Adoption Framework - Basic
- Module 2: Cloud Adoption Framework - Migration
- Moudle 3: Cloud Adoption Framework - Advanced
Additional Modules:
- Enterprise Scale – Infrastructure as Code College
- Enterprise Scale - Construction Sets
- and more to come...
This CAF Hackathon enables attendees to understand and get familiar on how the Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework for Azure (CAF) can be applied with their customers. This hackathon walks through the Define Strategy and Plan phases of the CAF to support attendees in leading a client engagement that is considering moving their digital assets to Azure.
By the end of the CAF Hackathon, attendees will have built a cloud adoption plan that they can use to present to a customer’s C-Suite to justify adopting the cloud. The purpose of this exercise is to provide you with the tools and understanding that will complement the conversations attendees may be having with their customers.
